(also, fun fact, the original was called "Bleifuß", "lead foot", in German, and spawned a loosely connected "series" of games also called Bleifuß something, from different developers)

same studio too! although the 1995 one didn't go to space, and didn't have a dedicated stick for drifting and two (sometimes three) meters to manage, did it?

nah, the intent and advertising was squarely synaesthesia, the "hurr durr it's for your girlfriend" framing came from western gaming press (the Trance Vibrator never made it out of Japan, AFAIK).

T045T @t045t.zmb.cm · 13/10/2026
the PS2 release of Rez supported a peripheral called the Trance Vibrator to aid with the synaesthesia. It's just a box with a USB plug that can vibrate pretty intensely, that you can place somewhere on your body. other releases let you emulate that by using a second controller just for vibrations.

We have also truly been here before... olivia.science/before/ 3/n
Another related aspect — described by Valentina Ponomareva (1998) — is that:

it is impossible to create an absolutely reliable automatic system, and sooner or later people face the necessity to act after equipment fails. [...] If the cosmonaut loses such skills because of [their] passive role [due to being typically limited to monitoring and observation only], the probability of [their] choosing and carrying out the right procedure in an emergency would be small. This contradiction is inherent in automatic control systems.

maybe beside your point here, but LLM coding also generates redundancy at the application level. that is, if 1000 users vibe code the same(ish) tool, that's 1000x as much code as one person writing and sharing (and improving!) that tool.
020
T045T @t045t.zmb.cm · 19/09/2026
yup. LLMs work great to create (web) frontend code because a) there's more open training data for frontend stuff than anything else (Python comes close) b) Javascript is very forgiving of stupid mistakes at runtime c) sadly, the bar for frontend code isn't that high these days
